Good choice!!!  Hope you don't have to wait long, but I wouldn't count on it.  I'm waiting on a rear rotor that's holding up over 4K worth of stuff I have to install!!  The HogPro folks are great, but at the mercy of their suppliers   :wall:
Yeah, the guy warned me about the wait, but I have wheels on it now and I'm ridin', so I'm gonna try to not get too impatient, but I make not promises.  He said 8 week, maybe a little longer, but I won't hold my breath.

Made a decision and took the plunge...Xtreme Machine Arson.  Man, those folks at HogPro are nice to deal with.  Now I wait... :-\

You'll be a happy camper! Those are are gonna be very sharp on your scoot.

Well, I got it...HogPro told me 8 weeks, and it was only 4.  They are just the best folks to deal with.  Here is a couple of photos...new chrome calipers too.  I was already running a Metzeler ME880 140 on the rear, and honestly could not tell much difference in ride characteristics between the Dunlop.  With the new front wheel, I also went with an ME880 140, and let me tell you there is a HUGE improvement in the ride.  Handles great, but the biggest improvement is in the "softness" of the ride...really does a nice job of smoothing out the bumps...ME LIKE!

Hey SCRM-R,

I'm dying to ask, you don't really have a "sreaming eagle" tattoo do you??  You did that as a joke in Photoshop right??

Four weeks! That's impressive :huepfenjump3: Glad to see everything turned out great. Those rims look spectacular with your paint and engraved forks!

I agree. Those ME880's really do soften up the ride and handle great to boot.

Nice lookin' tattoo by the way :2vrolijk_21:

Take care,

Grover

Scrm-r - Great looking wheels!  You made the best choice.

I am also running Metzlers on my RK and so far am very pleased with them.

Looking forward to seeing those new wheels in person.

Thanks for the comments.  I won first place at a show in Albany, Ga this past weekend.  Maybe the new wheel and chrome calipers had something to do with it? :nixweiss: I was already running a Metzeler on the rear, but the change to Metzeler on the front is what made a huge difference in the ride.  I was not prepared for so much improvement, especially with the higher air pressures that they require...don't know how the do it.
